Microsoft did this a couple of years ago with Hololens and Minecraft..

> Microsoft did this a couple of years ago with Hololens and Minecraft.. Yes, badly and expensive. And didn't follow up on it properly.

Still in research.

Demos of ARKit from twitter blows away Tango demos, even though Tango requires additional hardware. Will Google discontinue Tango?

Can you link some of those demos? I haven't seen anything very impressive so far. Also it doesn't do area learning as far as I can see.

The Wingnut AR demo that Apple showed during WWDC featuring the Unreal Engine was just mindblowing! Thankfully, it's available on Unreal's Youtube channel so you can still watch if you don't have Safari or the app - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S14AVwaBF-Y

It's just a 3D videogame and pardon I guess I'm missing the point of an AR video game vs. just sitting down and playing a 360 degree video game?

Using Metal 2 optimize, it's solid and I was even fooled by a red chair. IKEA would love this.

I realize on Google I/O 17 demoed Tango using Asus ZenFone with low frame rate is still not impressive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey47-i33bLI

I thought Samsung S8 should have AR on a premium phones.

Compare to 60-120fps on iOS 11, yup, Apple Metal 2 could boost by reduce latency from 16.6ms to 8.xms and even more with direct display, it matched PlayStation VR refresh rate, real world tracking is what we need. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yphh1Ue3D6g

These are also the ones I've seen, I fail to see how any of those "blow away Tango demos" as the parent comment states.
